PREFACE

Tue subject of the 3rd volume of the Catalogue of Lepidoptera
Phalene is the last of the three subfamilies of the Arctiade—the
Arctiane, in which 946 species are described and classified ; the
Volume also contains the small family Ayaristide, with 225 species,
a somewhat specialized development from the Noctuidae, the antennse
being modified in relation to their day-flying habits.

Since the death of Dr. Staudinger his collection has not been
available for study, and it has not been possible to examine a few
of the Palearctic and Neotropical types of Arctiane which he had
kindly promised to send to London, as he had so liberally done on
former occasions ; nearly the whole of them had, however, already
been examined and, as will be seen by the list on pp. 518, 514, but
few remain the classification of which is uncertain.

IT have again to thank all those who had assisted Sir George
Hampson in the preparation of the former volumes, for their help
with this one; also M. Ch. Oberthiir of Rennes, Herr G. Weymer
of Elberfeld, and Dr. Carlos Berg of Buenos Ayres, for the loan of
types described by them.

OF

LEPIDOPTERA PHALAN &.

Subfamily ARCTIAN A.

Proboscis more or less aborted in the typical genera Arectia,
Diacrisia, and allies, fully developed in most Neotropical genera,
and also in Utetheisa, Secusio, and their allies; palpi slight and
porrect or well developed and upturned; ocelli present; eyes
rarely hairy ; antenne pectinate or ciliate; tibial spurs typically
small but often well developed, the hind tibie with the medial
spurs absent in a few genera and the fore tibize in others with
curved apical claw, the mid and hind tibie rarely spined. Wings
usually well developed, sometimes aborted in the females of Ocno-
gyna etc. Fore wing with vein la separate from 16; 5 from
near lower angle of cell or well below angle of discocellulars ; 6
from or from near upper angle, except in the very abnormal genus
Psycharium, where it is from near middle of discocellulars in both
wings ; areole present in many genera. Hind wing with vein 1 a
present; 1c absent ; 4 often absent; 5 from near lower angle of
cell or well below angle of discocellulars ; 6,7 sometimes coincident ;
8 coincident with the cell from or almost from base to near middle,
extremity, or in Awtomolis and some other forms sometimes to
beyond angle of cell; in Thalesa, Carathis, Ochrodota, and some
species of Melese and Halisidota obsolete.

The species of Automolis ete. which have veins 6, 7 of hind wing
coincident and vein 8 from or from beyond upper angle of cell can
be distinguished from the Syntomide by the stalk of the coincident
veins 6,7 being slightly curved towards the costa at base.

The Agaristid genus Pseudospiris and some genera of Noctuide
have acquired the Arctid character of vein 8 of the hind wing
becoming coincident with the cell to near middle, but in these it

appears to be always free at the base, this being rarely the case in
the Arctids ; this occurs in various parts of the Noctuidw, such as
Stilbia in the Caradrininw, Rhanidophora, and Eligma in the
Noctuine ; several genera in the Varache group, all the genera of
Surrothripine, several of the allies of Acontia (these last two having
also the Arctid character of a bar-shaped retinaculum), and many
genera in the Hypenine.

The nearest allies of the Arctiade among the Noctuide seem to
be the Sarrothripine and Acontiane, the former being collaterals of
the Lithosiane, the latter of the Arctiane.

Larve with all the prolegs present; the tubercles normal, con-
verted into large warts bearing many hairs and forming a cocoon
of silk interwoven with hair.

In the abnormal J'yria jacobee the warts have only one hair,
except v which has two hairs and vii with four, this reduction of
the hair being correlated with its warning coloration.

AGARISTIDA.

Family AGARISTIDA.

Proboscis fully developed; palpi upturned and well developed,
the 3rd joint usually naked and porrect; frons with a rounded,
conical, or corneous process; antenne cylindrical, almost simple,
with slight bristles at the joints, not ciliated, and more or less dis-
tinctly dilated towards extremity. Ocelli present ; eyes sometimes
hairy; tibial spurs well developed, the tibize rarely spined; the
male claspers often very large ; wings large and strongly formed.
Fore wing with vein la separate from 16; 1¢ absent; 5 from or
from close to angle of cell; the areole present in nearly all the
genera. Hind wing with vein la present; le absent; 5 obso-
lescent from angle of discocellulars except in Feta, which has it
from just below the angle; 6,7 from upper angle or shortly stalked ;
8 free at base, then bent downwards to anastomose with the cell ata
point only, except in Pseudospiris where it anastomoses with the cell
to beyond middle. All the species have silvery blue patches of
scales on the fore wing, except Asteropetes, Arrothia, Euschirro-
pterus walkeri, and a few other species.

The Agaristide are a development from the subfamily Caradri-
nine of the Noctuide, in which they are closely related to Hudryas,
Ovios, Rhosus, Aucula, and from which they only differ in the form
of the antenne, which seems to be correlated with their day-flying
habits. The genus Dahlia, Pag., from N. Guinea, closely allied to
Thermesia, has however also developed an antenna dilated towards
the extremity and formed as in the Hespertade, but ciliated ; in it
vein 5 of the hind wing is fully developed from just below the angle of
discocellulars.

The larve have all the prolegs present ; somite 11 enlarged ; the
tubercles as in the Noctuide, low, conoidal, smooth, each bearing
a single hair; tubercle iv. small, rather behind and below the
spiracle, no other hairs ; tubercle i. anterior, subdorsal ; ii. posterior,
more nearly lateral; iii. lateral, above spiracle; iv. stigmatal,
posterior ; v. anterior and vi. posterior, inferior, subventral; vii. as
three sets in a triangle on the leg-plate; viii. near medioventral
line.

The pupa naked.
